5E - Aura Effects Coding

[MrDDT]

So I was looking over the web spell and I'm not sure you really want to set this up as an aura, unless you just want the first part of save or restrained. Because it's an action to break free and it's a DC STR check not a save. Also it's a CUBE not a circle.

So if you looking just for the first part, you like want something like this.

Web (C); AURA: 10 all; Web; SAVEA: DEX [SDC] (M); SAVEADD: Restrained

This also will cause everyone to keep rolling saves each time they move in the AURA.

Excellent, thank you! That is what I am looking for. It takes an action to break out of the web so I don't want that part automated anyway. I also use COP - Auras so I can put in AURASHAPE : square. Will try is out when I get home later. Oh, and Yes, the 'Web Origin' token is in the CT.

Thanks again!

Unfortunately that did not work. When the Wizard targets the 'Web Origin' token, it forces the token to roll for the Restrained effect. On a fail it places the Restrained condition on the token. When I move a party member into the aura the only condition placed on him is: FROMAURA;Web; SAVEADD: Restrained and no saving throw is rolled. I also tried the cast with the party member starting in the aura and a save wasn't rolled. I am including some pictures. I appreciate your help with this.

Oh, Ruffus is the caster and Nightbreeze is the one wandering in and out of the effect.

Is the correct coding, I thought I put that, it's in my coding I tested in FGU, so not sure why I didn't get it in there post, sorry about that.

[wulfax]

That worked! Thank you very much. I appreciate your help!

Thanks for this update!
I have not had the chance to test anything but the Spirit Guardians and it seems to still not activate (or apply the aura effect) upon entry into the aura. It does activate on the start of the enemies turn correctly though. This is in a clean campaign with only Auras and Better Combat Effects Gold activated.

Can you post a screenshot that includes the CT? Do you have Arua v3.0 ?

Documentation on "single" aura type:

single - There are a number of spells and effects, particularly in the 5E ruleset, which necessitate a slightly different aura behavior. These have the text or something similar "When the creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there". The aura will be applied to the target only when the target starts its turn in the aura or enters (moves into) the area for the first time on a turn. It will not be reapplied if the target leaves the area and returns on the same turn. It also will not be applied if the actor is in the area when cast or if the aura area moves onto the actor.

There is also "once" that can be combined with single... so for example !ally,single,once which will make it fire more often, however its not how the 5e rule works RAW.

once - The aura will only apply once per turn to an actor that starts or enters the area or if the area moves onto the actor. Leaving and re-entering the area on the same turn will not reapply the aura

Hmmm, Ok I went to take a screenshot and decided to remove all the NPC's I had in the CT and added one that did not have so many actions. When I added a new NPC it worked correctly. So I guess I just needed to remove and re-add the NPC's.

Thanks for all this!!

I love this extension - but it conflicts with Feature: TEMPO and ROLLON by Kelrugem. I like the TEMPO feature for TEMP HITPOINTS. Any Chance we can get these two extensions working together? =)
